EXCERPT: "Betrayal was likely felt by Ambassador Christopher Stevens, who as a distinguished member of the State Department, repeatedly requested and was repeatedly denied the additional security he felt necessary in order to protect those under his charge as terrorist attacks leading up to September 11, 2012 increased in Libya.
EXCERPT: "Betrayal was likely felt by Ambassador Christopher Stevens, who as a distinguished member of the State Department, repeatedly requested and was repeatedly denied the additional security he felt necessary in order to protect those under his charge as terrorist attacks leading up to September 11, 2012 increased in Libya.
It is likely betrayal is felt today by those serving in non-military U.S. posts worldwide as well. The mismanagement of the Benghazi attack and our government’s inability to protect members of the State department will likely have lasting effects. A breech of trust necessary in order to carry out assignments.
The deepest betrayal felt, however, likely belong to the families of Stevens, Smith, Woods and Doherty, who are painfully aware that President Obama and Secretary Clinton knowingly lied as they looked these families in the eye and blamed the deaths of the four brave men, not on what it was – terrorism – but on a spontaneous demonstration due to a YouTube video that never occurred."
